The Italian-German built USS Trieste went down to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, at least 35,000 feet down in the Pacific with a two man crew- Jacques Piccard and Lt. Donald Walsh of the USN. This was in the early sixties. no mishaps! the record still stands for a manned and controlled submersible- a Bathyscaphe. The sub was largely built in Italy but had a Krupp-designed and built pressure sphere protecting the crew. It was operated by the U.S. Navy as the USS prefix indicates.

Has anyone Explored Mariana trench?

The first person to reach the bottom of the Marianas trench was French explorer and scientist Piccard, in the bathyscaph. This was a type of submarine that was filled with a liquid (gasoline, I believe) as ballast, to be able to resist the incredible water pressure. The part where the people went was a sphere suspended beneath the hull of the ballast tank. In essence, the vehicle was like a hot-air ballon but for going underwater. This immersion happened in 1957.


When digging trench found two slabs of stone with a 30MM gap between them which went down for 7 meters why was this?

A hole appeared when I was digging a trench for a wall. After clearing the hole I found there to be two very large slabs of stone about 30mm apart. I pushed a tape measure down between the stone slabs and it went down to beyond 7 metres. This was in Herefordshire, England. Can anyone explain what I had found and how was it produced? Kind regards, Steve.


How long was the average trench?

As long as it needed to be to "hold the front". Some of the trenches went on for miles.


Where is the marina treanch?

First of all it"s the Marianas Trench, not marina Trench. Marina trench sounds like a dry-dock basin! giving the various meanings of Marina. The Marianas trench is the deepest spot in the Pacific ocean. the Bathyscaphe Trieste l went down there in l960 and later in l962 still a manned submarine depth record. Sub was crewed by Jacques Piccard(son of the inventor, who was a Swiss!!) and a Lt. Donald Walsh of the US Navy, obviously a submarine officer. The vessel was jointly made by the Terni naval shipyard in Italy and the actual diving-bell like crew capsule, subjected to the highest pressure strains, (at 36,000 feet down!) was fabricated by the German Krupp industries, familiar to many as a Gun manufacturer ( Big Berthas). So the Nato powers got together in a joint venture- Italy , USA, and Germany, down you go!
